Up on the hill People never stare They just don't care Chinese music under banyan trees Here at the dude ranch above the sea Aja When all my dime dancin' is through I run to you Up on the hill They've got time to burn There's no return Double helix in the sky tonight Throw out the hardware Let's do it right Aja When all my dime dancin' is through I run to you Up on the hill They think I'm okay Or so they say Chinese music always sets me free Angular banjoes Sound good to me Aja When all my dime dancin' is through I run to you |

I'm working on gospel time these days
(The summer - this could be the cool part of the summer) The sloe-eyed creature in the reckless room she's so severe A wise child walks right out of here I'm so excited I can barely cope I'm sizzling like an isotope I'm on fire so cut me some slack First she's way gone then she comes back She's all business then she's ready to play She's almost gothic in a natural way This house of desire is built foursquare (The city - the cleanest kitten in the city) When she speaks it's like the slickest song I ever heard I'm hanging on her every word As if I'm not already blazed enough She hits me with the cryptic stuff That's her style - to jerk me around First she's all feel then she cools down She's pure science with a splash of black cat She's almost gothic and I like it like that This dark place so thrilling and new It's kind of like the opposite of an aerial view Unless I'm totally wrong I hear her rap and brother it's strong I'm pretty sure that what she's telling me is mostly lies But I just stand there hypnotized I'll just have to make it work somehow I'm in the amen corner now It's called love - I spell L -U- V First she's all buzz then she's noise-free She's bubbling over then there's nothing to say She's almost gothic in a natural way She's old school then she's like young Little Eva meets the Bleecker Street brat She's almost gothic but it's better than that |

Daytime you're too proud to brag about the badge you wore
Nighttime you're too tired to drag your chains across the floor All your guns are gone I'm told or in the aerodrome Did you die the day they sold the ones you left at home? Hold my hand in the Android Warehouse Who's to know if you take a dive? Ain't life grand in the Android Warehouse? What a burner when you take off your goggles and find That you're alive That you're alive Did you really gobble up the things they claim you ate? Were you fit to swallow it or scared to clean your plate? Have you tried to calculate the hours they'd applaud? I would guess it's somewhat less for just another fraud Hold my hand in the Android Warehouse Who's to know if you take a dive? Ain't life grand in the Android Warehouse? What a burner when you take off your goggles and find That you're alive That you're alive That you're alive... |

I'm sittin' in my room, I'm starin' out my window
And I wonder where you've gone Thinking back on the happy hours just before the dawn Outside the wind is blowin' It seems to call your name again Where have you gone City streets and lonely highways I travel down My car is empty and the radio just seems to bring me down I'm just tryin' to find me A pretty smile that I can get into It's true, I'm lost without you Another lonely park, another Sunday Why is it life turns out that way Just when you think you got a good thing It seems to slip away It's warm outside, no clouds are in the sky But I need myself a place to go and hide I keep to myself I don't want nobody else To see me cryin' all those tears in my eyes Another park, another Sunday Why is it life turns out that way Just when you think you got a good thing It seems to slip away Another park, another Sunday It's dark and empty thanks to you I got to get myself together But it's hard to do |

I never seen you looking so bad my funky one
You tell me that your superfine mind has come undone *Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again When the demon is at your door In the morning it won't be there no more Any major dude will tell you Have you ever seen a squonk's tears? Well, look at mine The people on the street have all seen better times *Repeat I can tell you all I know, the where to go, the what to do You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you *Repeat |

If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime I'd quit my job Ride the train through the misty nighttime I'll be ready when my feet touch ground Wherever I come down And if the folks will have me Then they'll have me [Chorus] Any world that I'm welcome to Is better than the one I come from I can hear your words When you speak of what you are and have seen I can see your hand Reaching out through a shining daydream Where the days and nights are not the same Captured happy in a picture frame Honey I will be there Yes I'll be there [Chorus] I got this thing inside me That's got to find a place to hide me I only know I must obey This feeling I can't explain away I think I'll go to the park Watch the children playing Perhaps I'll find in my head What my heart is saying A vision of a child returning A kingdom where the sky is burning Honey I will be there Yes I'll be there [Chorus] |

Drive west on Sunset
To the sea Turn that jungle music down Just until we're out of town This is no one night stand It's a real occasion Close your eyes and you'll be there It's everything they say The end of a perfect day Distant lights from across the bay Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I'm the only one Here come those Santa Ana winds again We'll jog with show folk on the sand Drink kirschwasser from a shell San Francisco show and tell Well I should know by now That it's just a spasm Like a Sunday in T.J. That it's cheap but it's not free That I'm not what I used to be And that love's not a game for three Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I'm the only one My friends say no don't go For that cotton candy Son you're playing with fire The kid will live and learn As he watches his bridges burn From the point of no return Babylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I'm the only one |

I'll stand down by the door And catch the grey men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor When Black Friday comes I'll collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be Don't let it fall on me When Black Friday comes I'll fly down to Muswellbrook Gonna strike all the big red words From my little black book Gonna do just what I please Gonna wear no socks and shoes With nothing to do but feed All the kangaroos When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill You know I will When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole Gonna lay down in it 'til I satisfy my soul Gonna let the world pass by me The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me And if he don't come across I'm gonna let it roll When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim I'll guess I'll change my name |

When Black Friday comes I'll stand down by the door And catch the grey men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor When Black Friday comes I'll collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be Don't let it fall on me When Black Friday comes I'll fly down to Muswellbrook Gonna strike all the big red words From my little black book Gonna do just what I please Gonna wear no socks and shoes With nothing to do but feed All the kangaroos When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill You know I will When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole Gonna lay down in it 'til I satisfy my soul Gonna let the world pass by me The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me And if he don't come across I'm gonna let it roll When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim I'll guess I'll change my name |

I was scrapin' bottom
Gropin' in the dark It takes a crusty punk to really beat The mean streets of Medicine Park So I shifted left for out of town Then I clicked my heels and I doubled down to Blues Beach I'm frying Sizzlin' in the merciful rays And it's the long sad Sunday Of the early resigned I went to Central Station To catch that early bus They were gassed and runnin' every which way But unhappily not for us Here comes Trina the child bride I said hey pretty girl can I cop a ride to Blues Beach It's rainin' I'm chillin' at the Manatee Bar Well it's a stone soul picnic For the early resigned We could rent a paranymphic glider My hypothetical friend And we could sail 'Til the bending end Grab Big Dog a blanket Angel of my heart Things may get a whole lot worse Before suddenly falling apart Give your roommate Yvonne a ring Cause if she still wants in I gotta pull some strings On Blues Beach I'm dying Freezin' in the merciful rays And it's the long sad Sunday Of the early resigned |

I recall when I was small
How I spent my days alone The busy world was not for me So I went and found my own I would climb the garden wall With a candle in my hand I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand On the stone an ancient hand In a faded yellow-green Made alive a worldly wonder Often told but never seen Now and ever bound to labor On the sea and in the sky Every man and beast appeared A friend as real as I *Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall When there wasn't even any Hollywood They heard the call And they wrote it on the wall For you and me we understood Can it be this sad design Could be the very same A wooly man without a face And a beast without a name Nothin' here but history Can you see what has been done Memory rush over me Now I step into the sun *Repeat |

Those trucks in the street
Is it really Monday Time to find some trouble again Make a bid for romance While the dollar stands a chance Dumb love in the city at century's end We tap to this line Dancing on a mirror There's no disbelief to suspend It's the dance, it's the dress She's a concept more or less Dumb love in the city at century's end (At century's end) Nobody's holding out for heaven It's not for creatures here below We just suit up for a game The name of which we used to know It might be careless rapture This kid's got the eye Call it pirate radar Scooping out the roof for some trend But there's nobody new So she zeroes in on you Dumb love in the city at century's end (At century's end) Nobody's holding out for heaven It's not for creatures here below We just suit up for a game The name of which we used to know By now it's second nature Scratch the camera We can grab the locals Let's get to the love scene, my friend Which means look, maybe touch But beyond that not too much Dumb love in the city at century's end Dumb love in the city Love in the city at century's end Love in the city at century's end Love in the city at century's end Love in the city at century's end |

If you listen you can hear it it's the laughter in the street
It's the motion in the music, and the fire beneath your feet All the signs are right this time, you don't have to try so very hard If you live in this world, you're feelin' the change of the guard Na na na na, na na na na Na na na na, na na na na All you cowboys and your neighbours, can you swallow up your pride ? Take your guns off if you're willin', and you know we're on your side If you wanna get through the years, It's high time you played your card If you live in this world, you're feelin' the change of the guard Na na na na, na na na na Na na na na, na na na na Repeat [Na na na na, na na na na] to fade |
